Old School Friday: Luther Vandross

Mrs. Grapevine is co-founder of the Old School Friday meme. She informed us that the theme this week is 'Favorite Male Singers'. I thought about Frankie Beverly, Rick James and Michael Franks. However, as they say ... 'there can only be one' ... and my choice is the late, great Luther Vandross.

I first heard Luther when he was with a group called 'Change' and they put out a song called 'The Glow of Love'. I remember memorizing the words to that song and using them as a poem for my fiancee.





I saw Luther live in concert while in college. It always amazed me how his live concet appearances sounded just like the recorded tracks on his albums. The man was a musical genius.
